Xan presents a replay built around numerological themes and personal creative exploration, blending metal, darkwave, glam, and experimental music with reflections on synchronicity, energy, and artistic process. The show weaves together classic tracks from Twisted Sister and Dio, recent releases from Xandria and WASP, and a series of darker contemporary selections from DeathbyRomy. Xan introduces new material from Angel 1111, including “Beltane’s Fire” and the AI‑generated “666,” sharing context around their creation, performance practice, and the connection between music, ritual, and personal symbolism.
Xan also features underground and international artists including Artie Grotesca, Dury‑Gury, Hardboy, and Terminatryx, noting stylistic contrasts and the role of production approaches from DIY to fully electronic. The programme closes with darkwave from John Copperboots and reflections on creativity, technology, and musical community, framed within Xan’s characteristic narrative style.
